The Bhop Game!

About the game: This is game is based off of the exploit in the gold source engine known as Bunny hop.
The idea is that strafing whilst in the air using A and D key well increase your forward velocity (this is known as air-strafing),
building this speed is ideal to pass the level(s) and get to the end.


Example of bunny hopping: -

What to look forward too: 
-hopefully adding in a battle arena game mode later into development.

How to play |for noobs|

Start by moving forward (pressing the W key) then let go of the W key and jump straight in the air, Whilst in the air press either A or D (depending which direction you wish to go) and hold down space bar (we added auto hop for you) now you are gaining speed! follow the green markers to find your way or make you own way! the end is at the purple light at the end of the bridge once you get there the timer will stop and give you your time. You are now free to explore the map as we have no added any respawn after finishing yet but if anyone asks its a artistic choose alright?


Bug list:

- Lighting bug makes the markers flash like a lightning storm which may affect players with epilepsy.

- No respawn after time finish.


HISTORY OF BUNNY HOPPING:

Bunny hopping or airstrafing started back in the quake 1 engine but when valve heavy modded Quake 1 to make their own engine 'Gold Source' for the critically acclaimed game know as 'Half-life' and due to the build of the engine it was heavily modded, around 5 or 6 so years after 'Half-life' saw its debut so did a little game known as 'Natural Selection' which originally started as a RTS having Soldiers against Aliens, the game had the bhop exploit unintentionally added into the game and has been acclaimed the best game with miss-intentional bhopping. As a marine you would  rather slow so having the skill of Bhop would mean those who put in the time and effort you would have a slight higher advantage, The aliens could bhop as well but some had different movement (e.g pancaking which is moving up and down). Eventually bunny hopping was disabled in the engine for soldiers but the aliens were still able. Later down the line value modded 'Gold source' heavily and made by default that bunnyhopping was disable by server commands. Nowadays bunnyhopping is well...dead, modern titles try and push a more realistic view on games which really takes the re playability of them and the development of skill...

We are trying to push the motion of skill based movement in video games!
